Alumni, Family & Friends Run

On the first Saturday of the 2009 season (August 22nd), Trinity Cross Country will host the second annual Alumni, Family & Friends Run at Blackhawk Park in Eagan.

The Girls race will begin at 9am and have one-mile and two-mile race options for anyone willing to participate. The Boys race will begin shortly after the girls finish their race (roughly 9:30am) and they will have one-mile, two-mile and three-mile options for race distances.

The race is open to anyone that supports Trinity and the Cross Country program. Girls varsity runners will run two miles and Boys varsity runners will run three miles. The shorter distances will be for more inexperienced and younger runners.

I was shocked by the outstanding family participation last year when we had 32 total participants (15 girls, 17 boys), and I hope we can get even more people to turn out to run this year.

If there are enough runners, two separate teams will be scored for the varsity distances:
1) Current Trinity CC Runners
2) Any Trinity CC Alumni, Family & Friends...which includes siblings, parents, uncles, your neighbor, your classmates, etc.

Following the races, we will recognize any runners that have run 200+ miles for summer training and serve watermelon and ice cream treats.

The entire event should conclude by 10:30am, but people can stay as long as they like to mingle, play volleyball or throw a frisbee around.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jesse
